This May Come As A Surprise...

Last week was a rough week for Klein. He hadn’t been dealing with his mother’s illness very well. We talked a few times during the week, and one night he came back to DC to handle some stuff. He spent the night and we talked and played hokey pokey. He got up and left and called me later to tell me about her condition. Me being the exceptionally great person that I am (ok...well at least I think I am), I offered to drive 4 hours to a) support him and b) meet his mom, since she’s been asking him when she was going to meet me.

He was shocked, floored & amazed. He told me how much that meant to him and laid on the compliments and praises the rest of the convo.

I really didn’t know what to expect. You know, I mean, if it were the other way around, I’d want a friend to offer moral support. In fact I would do that for any of my close friends...I guess I didn’t quite understand the magnanimity of my actions, or rather what they meant to Klein.


He asked me to be his girlfriend.

Oh and he dropped the L-bomb.

He Likes Me, He...

When I was in middle school, I used to play the he likes me, he likes me not game. Now, years later, I don’t give a damn...except, I’m wondering about Brian. I mean, the last few weeks, I’ve been getting some heavy mixed signals.

*Long hugs, like we haven’t seen each other in years
*He stares at me, when I catch him looking, he doesn’t break my gaze
*Playful taps
*Meeting of the friends
*I may meet his family next week. (I NEVER let anyone meet my family)
*Main course hangout days (Friday & Saturday nights, sometimes, Thursdays)

He takes off in t-minus 6 weeks...

So, what do you think? What signals do YOU drop when you like someone? (I always take the indirect/direct Diva approach!)
